An earlier comment stated: "...his transition team has really done a great job getting the ball rolling on Guantanamo, the economy and the environment. You will start seeing the fruits of their labor in just a few days..."

Closing Gitmo was one promise he now says "No, we can't". He's said it may be years before it is closed. His economic plan is to spend more government money on people who don't produce. Environmental? There is nothing wrong with our environment, and there is no global warming, although I'm sure he'll try to raise SOME of his new taxews by saying so.

The water question clearly does not say a microscope would be the instrument of every future examination of water. It does not mention the means of examination, therefore it is indeed invalid.

I got 93%, answering the Paris question as invalid. The question did not say where the Paris was that Jenny lived in, only that she lived in Paris. It then said there is a Paris in New Zealand. Therefore my answer, invalid, was valid.

"...and how's that workin' out for ya...", snidely put.

A similar software I've used for a couple of years allows you to make puzzles of your own pictures. You control how many pieces, how they are shaped, and can actually send mystery puzzles to friends to solve before they can see the completed picture you send.

Get Jigsaw Puzzle 2 Entry, about $9.95. It comes with 5 of their puzzles. Higher prices gets more of theirs. I just use my own photos to make my puzzles. You pick through yours off your hard drive, fix the numbers and shapes, and off you go! Very entertaining. It too allows each section to rotate as pieces come together. Makes a fun, solid "click" when a piece matches up. Addictive!

"In 1965, James Lovelock predicted that environment will be the biggest challenge in the 21st century. And in general, he was right."

In general, he was NOT right. The environment is getting lots of press, because of the hoax of "man-made global warming", but it is not a challenge when looking at the science. The Earth warms, the Earth cools, our miniscule poofing of pollution has little if nothing to do with it. The Sun is in charge.

I’m Robert, living in Asheville, NC, with lions and tigers and...well, ok, just bears. I have an excellent daytime video of a huge black bear outside our home, wandering about sniffing neighbors’ trash bins. We live in town, so that gives you an indication of just how close we are to nature. The Blue Ridge Parkway goes right through Asheville: http://www.blueridgeparkway.org .

I’ve been reading Neatorama for about 2 years, usually the second or third site I check in on all day long.

We have a vacation rental business in Asheville ( www.ashevillevacationhomes.com ), home of America’s largest private home, the Biltmore Estate (http://www.biltmore.com ).

We have six cats, two of which are 9 week old Maine Coons...really, really tooooo cute!

Unlike Charlotte, listed in your Forbes 10 worse cities, we are on all sorts of top ten lists, from Rolling Stone Magazine (freakiest city) to Best Places to Retire. We host one of HGTV's Dream Home.

Thanks for your efforts, Alex, great mix of postings. Your website actually is the name of the category in my browser favorites under which I categorize most of my fun stuff on the Internet, as your site takes me to so many interesting sites.
